In the past few years dash cams have become a growing business and you'll see lots of people on the road with them attached to their cars. In this video, I'll give you a quick look at the Nextbase Dash Cam 412GW from Halfords with some sample footage that I took on a grey dull day.

I love using technology, from cameras to computers, drones to unique gadgets and with any of these things I like them to work well and be easy to function.

This dash cam ticks those boxes perfectly. With the press of a few buttons, you'll have it working and recording in no time. For people who have no real knowledge of setting up something like this, it's incredibly easy and could be used by simply attaching to the windscreen, turning it on and pressing the record button.

Why have a dash cam? The reason they've become so popular is that it give you peace of mind, it helps protect you against false insurance claims and with some companies, it will reduce your insurance premium.
